Modelling motility of Trypanosoma brucei

Fig 2

Swimming characteristics of the trypanosome model as a function of the actuation amplitude a_b and the wavelength .

(A) Swimming velocity v, (B) rotation frequency , (C) flagellum wave amplitude B₀, and (D) flagellum wavelength . Corresponding experimental measurements for T. brucei are indicated by horizontal green lines (average values) and shaded areas (standard deviation).
